New Delhi: In a relief to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, the Supreme Court today quashed the withdrawal of Special Public Prosecutor Bhavani Singh in a corruption case against her.




"... We are of the considered opinion that the order of removal of G. Bhavani Singh ...is a product of mala fide and the impugned order is not sustainable in the eyes of law, as such the same is hereby quashed," the court said.

The apex court also asked the state high court to consider giving extension to the presiding judge in the case, who is retiring Monday upon his superannuation, in consultation with the state government.
